Gatling http checks page has all the solutions. http://gatling.io/docs/2.1.7/http/http_check.html

  1. if you want to extract from string then use Regex. If you want the the whole href, you can also use CSS (link).

  2. For Json, search for jsonPath on this page.

Hi,

I tried with both regex and css but i am not able to get the value of authtoken (refered above)

1 .check (regex("""“authtoken”="([^"]*)""").saveAs(“AuthToken”))
2. .check (css(“href=”/apps/…do?actionType=adminPage", “authtoken”).saveAs(“AuthToken”))

with css i am getting the below error

,UTF-8),Map(),2285,UTF-8,RequestTimings(1440478289443,1440478289445,1440478289976,1440478289976)))), forwarding user to the next action

Try following

1

.check (regex("""authtoken=([^"]*)""").saveAs("Authtoken") //- https://regex101.com/

2 for CSS parser I will need entire html. You can use the following site to test out CSS parser http://try.jsoup.org/

  • Can you help to get value from json Response using json parser

My Json String =({“data”:"1, 2, 3})

Sure

check(jsonPath($.[data]).saveAs("myData"))

You can use this link to test your json parser yourself https://jsonpath.curiousconcept.com/ - Select Stefan Goessner implementation
